I am willing to be a guinea pig if anyone wants to throw a mill or two at me. I will let you know how stupid I turn out to be

Same here. As a case study we could look at how CRedskinsRule handles the money as compared to how I would.

Money has different effects on different people. A lot of people who grew up dirt-poor never forget that and do not spend frivolously. Others thinking it never ends and getting caught up in fantasyland without regards to the future and the economy spend like there's no tomorrow.

Even smart people have lost money. We all make mistakes. A lot are made due to ego or immaturity. That's life. Usually if you keep yourself in check, your checks will last longer and most of your decisions will be productive ones. I've never been rich so that's JMO.
